Use PEMDAS to get $t=1.37$

To solve this problem, the best way would be to use PEMDAS.

Because our variable, $t$ , is being divided by $2$ , we need to multiply both sides by $2$ .

$(t+3.95)/2 (*2)=2.66 (*2)$
$t=3.95=5.32$

We'd then subtract $3.95$ from both sides, so $t$ would be isolated.

$t=3.95-3.95=5.32-3.95$
$t=1.37$

How do you solve \frac { t + 3.95} { 2} = 2.66\frac { t + 3.95} { 2} = 2.66?
